In this information age, it sometimes seems that the human species have arrived at an odd, highly curious paradox, where our planet’s future is seemingly completely knowable, but the past which led to our future is uncertain and plagued with unpredictability.

If human activities are left to continue as it is, the current trajectory can only lead to more extreme climate events and environmental catastrophes.
